Tom was not a superstar, but he led a
charmed baseball life nonetheless. He had one season in the big leagues where
he had 20 homers and 80 RBIs, so he did have a good taste of success as a
hitter. After his career, he served as a major-league general manager. And
afterwards, his son Ben was a slugging outfielder and winner of the
Rookie-of-the-Year award. This is Tom's 1979 Topps card; three more cards
appear below.

This is a list of the cards of this player
that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones
that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I
kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and
den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked
up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at
this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and
maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is
struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by
following this link: NYMHall.
